The Leads.

Acrylic on Canvas. 61x61 inches. 2025

This painting, The Leads, combines fragments of myth and folklore, inviting the viewer to step into the story. The central goat-like figure, pierced with an arrow yet calmly smoking, becomes a strange emblem of resilience and sacrifice. Surrounding it are disjointed human figures—forms that feel both playful and unsettling. The chicken, plate and large phone-like shape are symbols of domestic comforts–things that we all find necessary, but not needed for survival. The work plays with contrasts: innocence and violence, humor and tragedy, the sacred and the absurd. The painting offers a dual narrative, at one end unfolding like a macabre stage performance, where disjointed archetypes collide. While on the other end, it is a meditation on survival and the ridiculous balance of human existence, comfort and instinct. A fine addition to any collection, especially one with a focus on narrative art.

One of the largest pieces on featured on this site, The Leads can of course, be interpreted countless ways and will clearly be debated until the end of time, but all agree that it tells a story. Who will you follow into the dark?
